James,
 
I am not surprised over Your discovery and lack of formal information on this topic, because "most" people think BIG.
And People whom think BIG, do not like to share their knowledge.
 
What seems to be forgotten, that most sucessfull ventures started in a small scale, like IKEA, and they still use local manufatures of a certain scale to produce most items for their shopping mals.
 
There are various models to bring the local artians involved in production of stoves, like a supply chain of proper materials, prefabricated flatpacks and more industrilized small scale production using simple handtools to a bit more advanced machinery.
Just use Your imagination.
 
I prefer 1000 millionaires apart from one (1) billionar.
 
Employment is very much needed all over the planet and especially for young people age 15 to 30.
 
Just go ahead and create opportunities and employment for local artisans and street vendors.
 
Otto

Dear list,
I'm looking for more information on tinsmith business models, value chains and capacity building - and am surprised to find very little formal information on the topic, especially given the role they play in stove production in most areas.

I've found Toyola in Ghana, a little on Mwoto in Uganda and an analysis by GIZ/Cecil Cook in Zambia but am still looking for more information - any ideas please?
When I'm done all information will be fed back to the list/website.

CheersJames RobinsonMalawi
